This treaty is not directed against any power and contains no committment in the event of aggressive action on the part of a signatory. The three high contracting parties have confidence that the conclusion of this treaty will reinforce the foundations of peace in Europe and the world.

ARTICLE I
In virtue of the close relations established between the Atlantian Empire, the Republic of France, and the Russian Federation, the high contracting parties mutually undertake to afford one another military and other assistance and support of all kinds in war against any power which attacks a high contracting party and all those States which are associated with the aggressor in acts of aggression against any of the high contracting parties.

ARTICLE II
The high contracting parties undertake not to enter into any negotiations with the aggressor or any other government associated with the aggressor that does not clearly renounce all aggression intentions, and not to negotiate or conclude, except by mutual consent, any armistice or peace treaty with aggressor or any other State associated with her in acts of aggression.

PART TWO
ARTICLE III
1. The high contracting parties declare their desire to unite with other like-minded States in adopting proposals for common action to preserve peace and resist aggression in the post-war period.

2. Pending adoption of such proposals, they will after termination of hostilities take all measures in their power to render impossible the repetition of aggression and violation of peace by the aggressor or any of the States associated with her in acts of aggression.

ARTICLE IV
Should any of the high contracting parties during the postwar period become involved in hostilities with the original aggressor or any of the States mentioned in Article III, Section 2 , in consequence of the attack by that State against that party, the other high contracting parties will at once give to the contracting party so involved in hostilities all military and other support and assistance in his power.

This article shall remain in force until the high contracting parties, by mutual agreement, shall recognize that it is superseded by adoption of proposals contemplated in Article III, Section 1 .
